The University of Kansas2014-2024 Campus Master PlanEXECUTIVE SUMMARY
masterplan.ku.edu
To Our University of Kansas Community:
Bold Aspirations, our 2012-2017 strategic plan, charts a transformation of the University of Kansas across every aspect of our institution. In January, 2013, the university community embarked on a year-long journey to create an updated campus master plan and to put our bold aspirations into physi-cal form. The Lawrence and Overland Park campuses and surrounding communities have engaged in an open and transparent process including open forums, focus groups, and more than 150 consultations. In the 150-year history of KU, this is the fifth comprehensive master plan. Like its predecessors, this plan lays out future growth for the Lawrence and Edwards campuses. In addition, this plan has been designed to be a living document, one that will be revisited in the coming years to be adjusted as part of an ongoing process. The plan is also our most comprehensive, including extensive analysis, space and classroom utilization, historic patterns and resources, land use, program accommodation, sustainability, and coordination with the local community. I want to thank the members of the university team who have worked on crafting the plan, the members of the steering committee and executive committee who guided its development, and our partners with the archi-tecture and planning firm Hanbury Evans Wright Vlattas + Company. Our master plan aligns with our values, our principles, and our goals for the future. It sets forth an ideal for a modern research university that can advance our mission of educating leaders, building healthy communities, and making discoveries that will change the world.
Best regards,

INTRODUCTION
The University of Kansas is a major public research and teaching institution of 28,000 students and 2,600 faculty members on five campuses. While the size and complexity of the institution has changed dramati-cally over the last 150 years, KU has remained true to its origins: to educate leaders, build healthy communi-ties, and make discoveries that change the world.
In 2012, KU developed its strategic plan, Bold Aspirations, as a guiding institutional vision with six goals:
1. Strengthen recruitment, teaching, and mentoring to prepare undergraduate students for lifelong learning, leadership, and success.
2. Prepare doctoral students as innovators and leaders who are ready to meet the demands of the academy and our global society.
3. Enhance research broadly, with special emphasis upon areas of present and emerging strength in order to push the boundaries of knowledge and society.
4. Engage local, state, national, and global communities as partners in scholarly activities that have direct public impact.
5. Recruit, value, develop, and retain an excellent and diverse faculty and staff.
6. Responsibly steward fiscal and physical resources and energize supporters to expand the resource base.
These goals served as inspiration for the 2014-2024 Campus Master Plan, which provides a flexible framework for physical growth on the Lawrence and Edwards campuses, assisting KU with fulfilling its intention to be recognized as a top-tier public research institution.©

CAMPUS HISTORY & GROWTH
KU was established in September of 1866. Its bold vision to educate and serve the citizens of Kansas prompted a series of early physical master plans that have produced one of the most beautiful collegiate environments in the nation. Beginning with the first campus master plan by George Kessler and Henry Wright of St. Louis in 1904, this rich legacy has capitalized on the extraordinary ridge-top location to create an academic community centered on Jayhawk Boulevard and its iconic buildings. Stewardship of historic landscapes, such as Marvin Grove and Potter Lake, has preserved the park-like campus setting and reinforced the remarkable views and vistas.
The Kansas City landscape architectural firm of Hare & Hare produced the second campus development plan of 1928. This plan was gracefully executed and bears close resemblance to what KU now calls the historic core. After Hare & Hare updated the master plan in 1932, subsequent planning was handled internally.

The 2014-2024 Campus Master Plan honors the historic and cultural context of the university, yet prepares KU for a challenging future. This mas-ter plan implements the goals of Bold Aspirations by strategically siting new and expanded academic, research, and residential communities to promote interdisciplinary collaboration and engaged innovative scholarship.
It builds on KU’s historic planning principles to knit together what is currently described as two separate Lawrence campuses, Main and West, into one cohesive Lawrence campus of three districts: North, Central, and West.
Although each appears distinct, the master plan thoughtfully connects the districts into one unified Lawrence campus community.

CAMPUS MASTER PLAN PRINCIPLES
The 11 Principles of the master plan arose as physical planning themes to serve as touchstones during the design process and ensure alignment with KU’s strategic plan, Bold Aspirations. They are embodied in the proposed physical plan and will guide campus development in the future.
Over the course of a year, the campus and Lawrence community were engaged to develop this set of planning goals and principles. The process involved dozens of meetings with hun-dreds of individuals, including deans, department heads, and other campus leaders, as well as focus groups and open forums.
Principles of the master plan embody both the historic excellence of the university and the aspiration to be recognized as a top-tier, public international research institution. They enable the physical campus plan to take on a significant role in the implementation of Bold Aspirations.

CAMPUS MASTER PLAN DRIVERS
The central tenet of our master plan is to physically embody Bold Aspirations to positively affect student success, increase opportunities for research, and grow human and physical resources. That is accomplished by grouping the Principles thematically around KU’s strategic priorities into Drivers. These Drivers serve as the building blocks of the plan.
The Drivers were developed by analyzing the goals and challenges identified in the strategic plan and in KU’s administrative savings initiative, Changing for Excellence. Working with KU leaders, stakeholders, and the governance committee for the master plan, the design team grouped these goals and challenges into thematic areas.
Grouped thematically, the goals and challenges are shaped into these Drivers to promote creative solutions for implementing KU’s strategic priori-ties, creating a direct link between Bold Aspirations and the physical campus.

CAMPUS MASTER PLAN CONCEPTS
As future campus needs were analyzed through the prism of the master plan Drivers, broad physical planning Concepts emerged around future campus needs. In total, a projected need for approximately 2 million square feet of ad-ditional space in the 10-year planning horizon was identified.
These broad physical Concepts are not limited by one area of campus, but instead group together program and facility placement to knit the campus together into a unified whole. Working together, the Drivers and Concepts will make the most of existing resources while effectively developing new opportunities through entrepreneurial thinking.
The Concepts support the four Bold Aspirations strategic initiatives themes:
• Sustaining the Planet, Powering the World
• Promoting Well-Being, Finding Cures
• Building Communities, Expanding Opportunities
• Harnessing Information, Multiplying Knowledge

The Edwards campus has grown from one 55,000 square foot building to four buildings totaling 238,000 square feet on 30 acres. Edwards has a projected 40 percent enrollment growth in the 10-year planning horizon.
As with the Lawrence campus, planners synthe-sized a set of Drivers to guide concepts for the Edwards campus. They are:
• Enrich students’ experience on campus by shaping spaces for social engagement.
• Boost the campus’ visibility and presence, visually branding it as a university campus.
• Anticipate future growth and adapt academic facilities to new technology and learning strategies.
Since its opening in 1993, the KU Edwards campus has brought “the high-quality academic programs, research, and public service of the University of Kansas to the greater Kansas City community to serve the workforce, economic, and community development needs of the region.”
